All Saints' Church, Petersham, in Bute Avenue, Petersham, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, is a Grade II listed[3] former church which is now used as a private residence.
History
Designed by Leeds architect John Kelly, the church was commissioned in 1899 by Rachel Laetitia Warde (née Walker) (1841–1906) to accommodate the expected suburban expansion of Petersham[4] and, using funds from his estate, as a memorial to her father, Samuel Walker (1812–1898) who had died the previous year. She also commissioned an accompanying church hall and institute as a memorial to her aunt Ellen.[5] The frieze above the hall's front entrance has the inscription "AD 1900. Ellen Walker Thy Kingdom Come. Memorial Church Room".[5][6]
However, Mrs Warde died three years before the project was finished and it was completed by her son Lionel[1] (1876–1963). The church's foundation stone was laid in November 1901[7] and the church was dedicated by the Bishop of Kingston, Cecil Hook, in April 1909.[8]
The church, and the church hall and institute[2] (which is also Grade II listed),[6] were erected in the grounds of Bute House (previously the residence of British Prime Minister John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute,[9] and which was demolished in 1908).
